Democratic Cleveland's Republican Mayor Harold Hitz Burton had won 17 consecutive elections when he defied Ohio Boss Ed Schorr last spring and got the Republican nomination for Senator. This week dark, grey-eyed Hal Burton came through once more, handily defeated onetime (1937-39) Democratic Congressman John McSweeney...
...Willkie at Philadelphia, stopped the professionals in their tracks. After his nomination, astute Harold Burton made peace. It took some making. As mayor of Cleveland during the city's relief crisis, he had cracked out right & left, had collided with such Party holy men as State Boss Ed Schorr and Governor John W. Bricker. When he was fighting them for the Senatorial nomination he had proclaimed: "If I am elected I will take an oath to support the Constitution and not to support Ed Schorr."

...bosomy personality and earth-mother voice. But she could not have done it all by herself. Supporting her was as fine a team of husky, seasoned Wagnerian troupers as could be found in any opera house the world over. Some of them (Elisabeth Rethberg, Lotte Lehmann, Friedrich Schorr, Emanuel List) were veterans of leading German and Austrian opera houses. Some (Lawrence Tibbett, Julius Huehn) were U. S. singers.

Seats: 25? to $1. So successful were the concerts that last week Mayor LaGuardia and Director Johnson decided to repeat their venture, this time with Tschaikowsky's music...
Baldheaded, 51-year-old Baritone Friedrich Schorr of Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera is a specialist in dignified Wagnerian Wotans. He almost never smiles. Last week, black-robed and bearded as Wagner's Flying Dutchman, he scowled his way through the second act, knelt with dignity upon the Metropolitan's splintery stage and prayed for his redemption. The prayer over, Baritone Schorr got up and, with a regal gesture, threw his black mantle about his shoulders. The gesture enveloped him in a cloud of dust from the Metropolitan's unswept stage. The audience guffawed. When...
